Today I cycled to Windsor to see Mrs D. She wasn't feeling very well, perhaps the COVID and flu jabs she'd had the other day were party to blame. Still, we manage to have a good chat. She was telling me about the first few visits to the day centre, after her husband had passed away. She tried going on Thursdays, but found that the groups were already formed and not very welcoming towards newcomers. She would just have lots of cups of tea... She was about to give up, when the lady that was making the tea, suggested to try Wednesdays. And that was so much better. She quickly made friends and newcomers would be directed to her table and she would always engage in conversations with them. They even made it into the local newspaper, not the first page, only the second page! That sounds pretty good to me.
